| Trip: Potomac River Whitewater Tubing | ||||||||||||||||
Description:
Hump Day Specials every Wednesday
River Riders' presents our very own PUT IN for white white water tubing!
We're bringing you more time AND distance with our NEW put-in, upstream of the rest. This is 30% more tubing, at no additional cost! How does this break down for you? More time on the water with your friends, and more distance on the beautiful scenic stretches of the 'Mac. What MORE could you ask for? The extra distance will add an average of 1/2 an hour to an hour extra to your trip. All trip times depend on water levels and personal pace.
Want some rapid excitement with the ability to "go it alone"? Whitewater tubing may be the trip option for you! River Riders is THE Original Harpers Ferry tubing company, with over 3 decades of experience! On a sizzling summer day, there’s nothing as refreshing as floating down the cool river in a tube. No other area outfitter can compare to the experience, quality, comfort and value of tubing with River Riders!
The Whitewater trip passes by the historic town of Harpers Ferry, West Virginia where Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia come together. Enjoy the beauty of the Harpers Ferry water gap and Maryland and Loudon Heights while enjoying the exciting class I-III whitewater on the Potomac River (depending on water levels). The trip lasts 1-3 hours (about 2 hours on average).
Full Day Tubing Trip Option Available
Tubing Frequently Asked Questions |
||||||||||||||||
| In an effort to always bring you the best experience in summer fun, we have decided to no longer offer the black tire tube option for white water tubing. Your feedback has been heard. Black tire tubes just don't live up to the outing you expect. Vinyl tubes are much more durable and comfortable! | ||||||||||||||||
